Architectural Geometry

Architectural geometry is an area of research which combines applied geometry and architecture,^[1] which looks at the design, analysis and manufacture processes. It lies at the core of architectural design^[2] and strongly challenges contemporary practice, the so-called architectural practice of the digital age.^[3] Architectural geometry is influenced by following fields: differential geometry, topology, fractal geometry, and cellular automata.

polyhedral approximation of a cyclide-offset.

Topics include:

freeform curves and surfaces creation
developable surfaces
discretisation
generative design
digital prototyping and manufacturing
